Copy Person column display name information to another column in a sharepoint list

Posted on by 173
I am trying to create another column in a sharepoint list that just contains a text version of the user information from a person column.  I have tried the following flow, but the information is not copying to the column titled "Name".  I have tried using the MSUserAcct Display Name, MSUserAcct Claims, etc.  I don't really care about formatting, I just want a secondary column that retains a text value of the MS User Account.  I thought this would be straight forward, but when I run the flow it gets hung up at "Update Item" and never actually copies the name information.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
